Well, our band, The Blackbirds, is made up of Jo (JoB), Zac (Johnandonandonandon), Cat, Adriana and I. We played at a school concert tonight, and we played three songs. Imagine, Blood Bank by Bon Iver, and the Pokemon theme song (ohhhh yeahhh).

JoB has a video which she'll post when she can, but for now, pictures shall do!

Here are some pictures from the concert… Also, I'd like to note that we all completely swapped instruments for Imagine. I went from drums to piano, Zac went from guitar to bass (cos there's no guitar) and Cat went from bass to drums. Also, Jo did nothing. Sorry, Jo… Bahahaha

Congratulations i hope you had a great time... but why didn`t you play blackbird and also the pokemon theme song, that`s incredible

We would have played Blackbird, but there wouldn't be anything to do for most of the band members.

The Blackbirds, live in their first concert, 1st December 2010. Woo!

Alright here goes, I haven't done this before so I'm hoping it's going to work *crosses fingers*

Imagine:

Blood Bank (which is by Bon Iver, just in case you've never heard of it):

Aaand Pokemon:

Enjoy!

I'd like to be, under the sea, in an octopus's garden, with you.

WOO, YOU POSTED THEM!

It sounded better in rehearsals…

Ah well, there you go!

Also, I should mention that Zac (the kid playing bass in Imagine and guitar in Blood Bank and Pokemon) had a completely stuffed up finger, so that's why he made a few mistakes. S'all good though.

Pfft, at least we could hear Adriana sing at the concert though! I never actually realised how good she really is until then...

Did Pokemon seriously sound that bad at the concert though? I don't remember it being THAT bad...

Ok Maybe I'm getting too old or I'm getting into December 8th mood... but... I couldn't help to get teary when I saw Imagine video because I saw Job's avatar and then I saw you guys that were not even born when that song was written... I dunno. I get emotional when I hear someone that young singing Imagine with a lot of feeling.

And it was very good. It was done with the right emotion, and I like the way Adriana sang it. I didn't notice any errors. Well done!!!!

And what a better number for this post than a 9!!!

Thanks Mith!

I think that's our best song (out of only three that we know), and Adriana's an amazing singer.
